Overflow Tank doesn't Return Coolant
#2
does the smoke go way on hot motor? tail smoke?????

yes, the tube can fall off or crack , inside the bottle overflow tank.
the radiator coolant as it cools creates a vacuum and sucks the previously hot water in the side tank, back in to the Radiator each night or each cool down cycle.
this keeps the RAD full all the time. the normal evaporation rates are miniscule. a teaspoon a month, or less>?

the only way to be sure there is no leaks in the engine are the 3 classic tests.
1: compression test engine. (i can use my cyl. leak down tester on cylinders and tell you where it leaking by the sounds it makes)
2: the read leak down test.
3: the green/blue dye test (finds exhaust gasses in Rad coolant)
